Periods of snow will continue through the predawn hours then taper off around sunrise Thursday. The latest snowfall amounts have trended higher with generally 6 to 10 inches expected along the central mountain chain. Locally up to 15 inches is possible on the higher peaks of the Sangre de Cristo Mts.
Winter travel impacts will begin today and peak this evening into the overnight. Particular trouble spots include I-25 from Glorieta Pass to Raton Pass and I-40 from the East Mountains of Albuquerque eastward to Clines Corners. Snow should taper off from west-to- east late tonight, but light snow is likely to persist in the northern mountains and east-central Plains into early Thursday morning. Fog/Freezing fog may also become a concern late tonight in areas where snow ends.
Northwest wind gusts from 30 to 45 mph are looking increasingly likely over the mountains and across southeast and east central areas on Saturday.
Cold Thursday with snow ending during the morning hours. Warmer next week, with temperatures trending above average.
